the English Church in China,
but We are working TO raise up branch OF
the holy Catholic Church. The teachings
OF the Chinese have not been such as have
taught them the need OF Sabbath. They
know no Sunday. Their festival days are
devoted to the worship of their heather
gods. And they need as much as any
people on the earth the influences OF
Christianity"
The Bishop gave very interesting de-
scriptiOn Of the hospital work in Shanghai
and Its development. with the aid OF the
Chinese merchants, who recognize the
enligbtening influences of the work that
is being carried on among their people.
Last year. the Bishop said, there were
10000 patients treated at the Shanghai
Hospital dispensary and 900 10 the wards.
lie explained, also, the work among the
women. The Chinese philosophy teaches
that women have no souls, and are not
capable or even worthy of education. II
u woman is able to perform the ordinary
household duties and attend to the orna-
mentatiOn OF her shoes, that is sufficient,
in the Chinese mind, for her education.
The Christian missions that are beng
established throughout the empire are
educating the women for Christian work.
Thus Christianity il spread.
Gods blessing on the work, the Bishop
said, is great encouragement to go for
ward with IL, and TO aid in it's develop
ment is the duty Of every member OF the
Christian Church.

Sam Small on Whisky Selling and

Sabbath Breaking.

brews Kill. IA, "For here have we no
continuing city, but we seek one to
come"
The sermon was caustic attack upon
whisky selling and sabbath breaking.
Man builds for decay, he declared, and
no city which tolerates debauchery and a
debasemenl of the Sabbath will be con-
tinuing city. he asserted that in Savan.
nah and other cities drummers are per-
mitted to spread out their samples in the
hotels and take orders from merchants

drink on Sunday. he remarked, and he
added that he did not suppose there had
been much change. The only difference
be ween Saturday and SUNDAY is the dis
lance betw en- the front door and the back
door. He urged The church members to
make a light for he overthrow OF the rum
traffic and the election OF officials who
will en- fOrce the laws. In the course OF
his sermon be sad:
when man is elected to the Legisa-
ture or Congress he leaves honor and d, :

THE GRE AXIOM.
DIR. Bacon on the Alleged Conflict
Between Science and the Bible.

DIR. Bacon on the Alleged Conflict
Between Science and the Bible.
The subject Of Or. Bacon's evening
sermon at the Independent Church was
suggested by the course Of Sunday
school study, which, be said, has turned
the thoughts of millions Of persons, young
and old, to the subject OF the origin Of the
universe, and to the grave debates thereon
now pending.
DR.. Bacon's text was Genesis l., l: sin
the beginning God created the heavens and
the EARTH" He began by briefly sketch
ing the two opposing views: !, the ba-
bitual or tradit onaary view. founded on
more or less correct reading of the
Scriptures; and ,, the speculative view,
founded on more or less just lnferences
from the facts OF SCIENCE. Considering
how much Of this latter view has fairly
been proved, and how much more Of it is
in fair way to- be proved, it is wise to
study the bearings OF it on Christian doc
Urine,
/. 1t does not in the least weaken the
argument Of natural theology, but rather
expands and adorns it to degree before
unknown.
III. 1t does not conflict with the relig-
lous teaching OF the Scriptures concern
ing Gods method In creation, however
much 1t may CONFLICT with current theo-
logical statements, or with mems lazy
traditional interpretations of the Bible.
If we thOughtfully review the scriptural
story Of the creation, we shall be sur
prised to find how, at point after point, 1t
takes the side Of earnest and sober science
in rebuking that arrogant and obscurant-
ist sort OF theology which assum q to take
away the key of knowledge and set Itself
against science in the name of the Lord.
The Bible teaches:
|. That creation was not an instanta.
neous but long prOtracted work.
=. That this prOtracted work was also a
gradually progressive work.
8. That this prOtracted and progressive
work was not wrought without the use
OF material and natural second causes.
But the one thing mainly taught
by the Bible is that which, in its very ma
ture, science cannot teach-that the au-
thor of this work is God our Father,

In that connection the speaker dwelt on
the American revolution as an illustra-
tion of the purchase OF national indepen
dence and liberty by blood. After that
liberty was acquired all foreigners were
permitted to come in and share it, To
become citizens they have to renounce
allegiance TO their sovereign and swear
allegiance 10 the United States. In the
same way to become a fellow citizen with
the saints the sinner or foreigner TO God
must renOunce his king, the devll, and
take The oath OF allegiance TO the Lord.
The sacrament was administered after
the sermon and the announcement was
made that Mr.. Small will preach in
Trinity Church twice next Sunday. On
The third sunday in the month pro-
tracted service will be commenced. and
about the middle OF February Mr.. Small
is expected to return 20 Savannah and
assist in the revival services for week.
